Please, along with your detailed report, send the cole's output when compiled
using `--enable-verbose' (see the files `README' and `INSTALL' for details).


Current bugs:
**************

None.


Fixed bugs:
************

Reported that cole can't read files biggers that 8Mb. UPDATE: oledecod.c is
changed now to read additional blocks to the bbd. This fixes the bug.

Reported strange bug in cole 0.1.0 using Solaris using `../demo sprsheet.xls'
in examples directory. We need more test there! UPDATE: Seems to be fixed in
cole 1.0.0 with the endianess care code.


Possible bugs:
**************

* cole is not reentrant safe (it's in TODO):
  What happend if, in any program, one user tries to decode and/or code
  two files (the same or diferent)? Because static vars, will it get
  broke? I think yes, mmmh...&#13;</PRE
